Spanish unionism

Spanish unionism is a political attitude that favors the continuation of the monarchy of Spain as a single united nation-state. The term was first used in the early 21st century by Galician, Basque, and Catalan independence activists to describe supporters of the central government in Madrid, and the term was applied to the conservative People's Party of Spain, the social democratic Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, the progressive Union, Progress, and Democracy party, and the liberal Ciudadanos party, all of which rejected peripheral nationalism in the country.
